I hope visitors find the site interesting, I for one would like to see any evidence in Lancashire of the following on construction sites:

zero carbon developments
examples of locally manufactured triple glazing, low energy structures
examples of water conversation and recycling
closed loop recycling and waste management
examples of group transport to and from sites

If someone has a brig idea then I am interested in talking to you, any new technology which saves energy and or carbon emissions in the house or on the site.

CITB Construction Skills are funding a new programme called Built To Last which will run over 2007. CCI NW will be running the programme. The programme will feature a series of development seminars and workshops which are aimed at developing companies across the region. It is an ideal opportunity for local companies to develop their capabilities with regard to reducing on site waste, increasing awareness of reducing their carbon footprint and meeting Eco-homes standards. I would welcome enquiries from any company located in the Lancashire area who wish to take part in this programme.

Further, Elevate East Lancashire provided support to several local companies in achieving ISO14001 in 2005. This featured a fast track method to achieving compliance. As the ISO standard is one of the prime requirements set by our partner developers, we are interested in hearing from other companies who are interested in going through this standard. The offer is open over this February and open to those companies who have a BB post code business address.

 Thanks Andrew
